    <p>Matlab <tt>
        <b>more</b>
      </tt> and Scilab <tt>
        <b>lines</b>
      </tt> behave differently in some particular cases:</p>
    <dl>
      <dd>
        <b></b>
        <dd>
          <li>
            <b>
              <font color="maroon"></font>
            </b>
        With character strings as input: Matlab <tt>
              <b>more</b>
            </tt> can take "on" 
	and "off" as input but not Scilab <tt>
              <b>lines</b>
            </tt> but there are equivalents (0 and 60).
        </li>
        </dd>
      </dd>
    </dl>
    <p>
    The function <tt>
        <b>mtlb_more(in)</b>
      </tt> is used by
    <tt>
        <b>mfile2sci</b>
      </tt> to replace <tt>
        <b>more(in)</b>
      </tt> when it was not
    possible to know what was the input while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will
    determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a
    more efficient code it is possible to replace <tt>
        <b>mtlb_more</b>
      </tt> calls:
    </p>

            <b>
              <font color="maroon"></font>
            </b>
        If <tt>
              <b>in</b>
            </tt> is equal to "on"
        <tt>
              <b>mtlb_more(in)</b>
            </tt> may be replaced by <tt>
              <b>lines(60)</b>

        If <tt>
              <b>in</b>

        <tt>
              <b>mtlb_more(in)</b>
